Katie Ellis - 20 years with a Metal-on-Metal Hip Resurfacing

[Pat Walter]

Katie Ellis had one of Mr McMinn's first ever Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip resurfacings in 1991. 21 years later, in 2012, she's living a happy and moderately-active family life with her husband and two sons, describing her hip resurfacing as a 'Godsend'.

Thanks for the link to the video Pat.

Hopefully all is well with Katie, and this year, 2014, would make it 23 years with her BHR.

Thank you, Pat! Sooooo good to know! How long for yours now?

Hi Luann

I am 8 1/2 years now.  No problems, no high metal ions.  Dr. Gross tested me a few years ago.  I am still a believer in hip resurfacing!

20+ years is a great story.

To be accurate, it's not actually a BHR is it? They came later.

I believe its a McMinn resurfacing device mate. And in Mr McMinns own words it was fairly crude.

That's great news, Pat. I am a big believer, too.
I have never been metal tested, though. Not something my Dr ever pushed the importance of. I'll ask at next checkup.
